Located in the village of Kamenka, Leningrad Oblast, the 138-I Guards Brigade has “distinguished itself” over the past year, and more than once. In April last year, during a night exercise, an officer accidentally shot two colleagues from a tank gun. In July last year, an army soldier died under a collapsed wall. In October, 2010, after a series of high-profile scandals related to non-statutory relations, Dmitry Medvedev himself had to deal with the situation in this military unit. Then the Supreme Commander ordered the dismissal of the brigade commander.
